Does anyone remember in which Barks stories the “Tulebug River” was mentioned? It know it was in “Migrating Millions”, but I’m certain Barks used the name in some other stories, as well—I remember reading the name several times, and thinking how rare it was for Barks to be consistent which such things..
It's one of Barks' rare family references. His elder brother Clyde ran a hotel, appropriately named Hotel Clyde, in Tulelake, California. It's about nine miles southeast from Merrill, Oregon, where the boys grew up. The state line is pretty much the only thing inbetween.
The cbarks website lists "Beach Boy" (WDC 276) as another time the Tulebug River is mentioned, but omits "Migrating Millions" for some reason. There's also a Tulebug Lake ("Oodles of Oomph", US 29), a Tulebug Creek and a Tulebug Dam (both in "Chugwagon Derby", US 34).
Interestingly, "The Money Well" doesn't feature the Tulebug River. Don Rosa decided that was the river running alongside Section 26 in "The Invader of Fort Duckburg", but he made that up. The Barks story gives nothing but vague references to "the river" and "the country".

I was wondering if anybody in possession of the Fantagraphics Barks Library #14 could help me identify some of the titles used for Barks' untitled stories. In particular, I'm looking for the three "Joe's diner" gags, as well as The Mysterious Stone Ray. Thanks!
I remember a comic where HDL read an old Roman/Greek story (an old period piece where they wear togas) and they decide to reimagine it with Scrooge, Donald and Daisy as the protagonists. The cast are introduced as stone busts resting on pillars.
Later in the story, "Donald" elopes with "Daisy", but she hears over a wall "Scrooge" crying over his "treasure", and she thinks he is crying over her having run away (she is his daughter/niece in this story), but in reality, he is crying over seeing his chest of money having been stolen from its hidden place in the garden.
I remember reading it in a fairly old French "Mickey Parade" that could be from the 80s, or 70s.
Anybody knows that story?

Another question: can anybody with the Another Rainbow Barks Library #7 check up on Pluto Saves the Ship? I'm curious if the countries the foreign agents are from, is mentioned or implied in the original. The Dutch version says they're from Brutopia, which obviously isn't right. But since it was written during the war, I'm wondering if Germany or Italy are alluded to.

Two stories I can’t remember: One where Donald Duck starts his own business washing dishes, and Scrooge misreads the sign that puts a high price on paper plates and ships boxes worth of them to Donald to clean (I should know this one, as it’s been pointed out to me before!) Another story where Scrooge is in some sort of alternate reality in which he and Goldie were married, but I think it turned out to be a trick of some sort, probably by Magica DeSpell.

Maybe this thread isn't the right place for these kinds of questions, but... Inducks says that in the original printing of The Sharpie of the Culebra Cut, in Picsou Magazine 349, the ending was changed by the editors? Any French readers remember what the changes were, exactly?

Anyone familiar with a comic where Scrooge and the nephews are time travelling and ends up caged at one point? They manage to escape because one of the nephews happen to carry a lighter. (And speaking of cages. I'm interrested in any story where HDL is locked in a metal cage.)

I am trying to remember that story where Donald is led into visiting a house full of surprises and booby-traps for an experiment, and he is spied on by two scientists who look at him through screens. The shorter scientist keeps asking if he can send the "Mega-Gros-Poing" (mega big fist), and after the taller scientist finally accepts, it launches some kind of huge green caterpillar-snake to scare Donald.
It was in a "Journal de Mickey" from the early 90s...
Thank you!
